Garlic fried rice is a classic accompaniment for any many feasts such as pork belly and a stew o your choice. The simplest versions just contain fried garlic and rice, but a bit of spring onion and egg really brings out the flavor.
Besides garlic, other common ingredients in this version of Japanese Garlic fried rice are butter and parsley. If you don’t like parsley, you can replace it with scallions. Also, like other fried rice recipes, you can add fried eggs.
